This is a great weapon, no "overkill" mechanic to slow it down, and coupled with that 0 mana "blur" spell it'll mean you can clear a board without hurting yourself too much
without a strong board to take use of it's ability or a hero with a high attack it's a 4 mana Lightning bolt on a body.
It's obviously a finisher but Demon Hunter will need to rely on having minions stick to the board long enough for this guy to be effective, and I can't see them swarming the field and they're minions aren't that healthy
it SEEMS REALLY POWERFUL but upon further inspection it's not deal 10 damage it's deal 5 over 2 turns or Deal 10 damage for 10 mana.
lemme explain:
5 Mana "change your hero power to deal 5" means you need to invest 6 mana initially for that 5 damage.
If you want to deal 10 in a turn, you'd need to use that 3 mana wood sprite card that refreshes your hero power to use it again.
5 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 10 mana, it's a super clunky pyro blast that way
Now, dealing 5 damage that can go face is still strong, but it might be a better tool for say Control so your minions can get past taunts if that other legendary minion isn't on the board.

It's a strong minion, and DH's have stronger demons with no downsides as opposed to Warlocks.
It's only downsides are
1. RNG summon - you'll have to build around this guy to get the most out of his effect. which means you won't use the early cheap aggressive demons
2. mana cost - I'm not sure DH's will want to wait till turn 10 to win the game, so why have such a late game minion?
it's a strong card but not on it's own.

or even just to protect minions, etc.
like have a focus on the Ebon what's it called ? the Death Knight club in WoW instead of Arthas and Friends?
Boomsday style? how do you mean?
or re-work that shadow pact card so it targets Demon MINIONS and not heroes...
I wouldn't mind Adding Monk to the list if that means Chen Stormstout could be a hero avatar.
But my concern is that with adding classes you'll most likely be reducing the impact or identity of other classes from the game.
YOU ARE NOT PREPARED INSECT!!!
UHHHHH
The Murloc Legendary
Maiev
Rogue Legendary that's not the permanent stealth guy
make it a legendary minionthing I dunno
Man what's my Zoolock going to use for burst now? Soulfire?
hey it only took us 2 tries, I'll take it
this is actually a small buff to that shaman legendary weapon that summons legendary minions at the same cost of spells.
play lightning bolt, get this, then get the prime minion later.
No more Chameleos
This is NEAT
man I miss Diablo 2 now
Dragon Priest still getting support?
wow, color me impressed, aight
OH BOY I can't wait to play this on curve when I failed to discard it multiple times!
Like it replaces Soularium for card draw but you gotta dance around it JUST right to make it effective
this is just a slightly weaker and cheaper Ultimate sacrifice
I guess all those token generation cards warlock got last year might be useful for this
no but they do have orcs in purple robes
